A turn down an uncharted dirt road leads six young people into a night of pure terror in this
horror story.
Chris (
Desmond Harrington) is driving through West Virginia on his way to a job interview when an auto accident slows highway traffic to a near standstill. Afraid he'll be late,
Chris takes a detour down an old dirt road; a distracted
Chris doesn't see an SUV stuck in the middle of the road before it's too late, and he plows into the back after his tires suddenly blow. The driver of the SUV,
Jessie (
Eliza Dushku), was out on a camping trip with four of her friends --
Evan (
Kevin Zegers),
Francine (
Lindy Booth),
Carly (
Emmanuelle Chriqui), and
Scott (
Jeremy Sisto) -- when their tires went out, and as
Jessie and
Chris compare notes on their accidents, they discover that the road has been sabotaged with barbed wire. With both parties in need of a telephone,
Evan and
Francine are left to look after the cars while the other four set out to find help. However,
Evan and
Francine soon discover they've been led into a horrible trap, and as
Chris,
Jessie, and their friends search for help, they find that they've fallen victim not to local pranksters, but a gang of inbred backwoods killers with a taste for blood.
Wrong Turn was produced in part by
Stan Winston, a legendary special-effects artist whose work has appeared in such films as
Jurassic Park,
Aliens, and
Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
